Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - West Groton, MA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near West Groton that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
